Cricket is awesome!

[@Emper0rH0rde]

@surojeet chatterjee Because the majority of Americans would find it too confusing. Which is a little bit ironic, because cricket is *far* simpler than baseball. Also, it would require too great an investment. A cricket field is four times the size of a baseball field, and it wouldn't be a smart business decision to build cricket-specific stadiums in an effort to *try* to get Americans interested in a sport they don't even understand. Don't get me wrong; I'd love to see a big American cricket league with at least 24 teams, an 82 game regular season, and a playoff format similar to the baseball post-season, but if that ever becomes a reality in America, it won't happen in any of our lifetimes, because for a sport like cricket to gain ground in this country, it would have to be from the ground up, and that could take decades.

I did expected someone from a Cricketing nation & not an American but it seems a bit odd for a Kiwi to get into Football instead of Cricket or Rugby.

[@sumitrout4755]

Because cricket isn't a thing in USA really. And they play American Football instead of rugby so...

[@NikhileshSurve7428]

Sumit Rout I see what you're saying but that's not what I was talking about. He didn't started playing Football bcoz he was in US & Cricket or Rugby isn't big there but apparently went to US coz he's a Footballer. So he started playing Football in NZ. That's what I was referring to when I said "It's seems a bit odd for a Kiwi to get into Football instead of Cricket or Rugby".

[@eddyvideostar]

Niky: Obviously, he is very good with his hands.

[@suvrojit0]

Nikhilesh Surve I'm from India and in this Cricket crazy country, I don't follow Cricket at all and have taken up Squash as a recreational sports and also tried my hands in Archery.. So yeah, anything is possible.

[@JonathanBDavid]

Very clever and funny and serious at once! Great blend and a great 7 minutes

[@susannahcollins]

[@nootlow]

A 14 year old Australian could smash American professionals

[@JulioGomez-fl5du]

[@MyDigitalTeacher]

*That's a good miss lady coz this is how Australian won a match against NZ at MCG in 1981..They bowled underarm illegal delivery and NZ batter failed to hit coz they never played like that*

[@daguillera]

[@daguillera]

Cricket is a very nuanced game. Difficult to explain. You have to grow up playing it to understand it!

[@anandbakshi4391]

[@JonathanBDavid]
